Cyclone Sidr powered through Bangladesh on 15 November 2007, killing thousands and forcing millions of people to abandon their homes.
Islamic Relief responded immediately, providing families with food, clean water and medical support. In total, over 120,000 people were assisted.
On the night Cyclone Sidr hit, Maqsuda, Wahab and their children were at home and a tree fell and the roof collapsed.
Luckily the family managed to escape, taking temporary shelter in Wahab’s grandmother’s house. Wahab was injured and their house was totally destroyed.
Maqsuda and Wahab were in desperate need of food. The food pack Islamic Relief provided, enabled them to eat three meals a day and in the long term, a comprehensive village rehabilitation programme, involving home reconstruction, repairing water and sanitation systems and construction of cyclone shelters will ensure that they can return to a normal way of life.
